Descripción
A special movie tie-in edition of R.J. Palacio's #1 New York Times bestseller, now a major motion picture starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, Jacob Tremblay, Daveed Diggs, and Mandy Patinkin.
Over 6 million people have fallen in love with Wonder and Auggie Pullman, the ordinary boy with the extraordinary face, who inspired a movement to Choose Kind.
August Pullman was born with a facial difference that, up until now, has prevented him from going to a mainstream school. Starting 5th grade at Beecher Prep, he wants nothing more than to be treated as an ordinary kid--but his new classmates can't get past Auggie's extraordinary face. Wonder, a #1 New York Times bestseller, begins from Auggie's point of view, but soon switches to include his classmates, his sister, her boyfriend, and others. These perspectives converge in a portrait of one community's struggle with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.
In a world where bullying among young people is an epidemic, this is a refreshing new narrative full of heart and hope. R.J. Palacio has called her debut novel "a meditation on kindness" --indeed, every reader will come away with a greater appreciation for the simple courage of friendship. Auggie is a hero to root for, who proves that you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.

Reseñas
The story itself was wonderful. And I'm finding it hard to write a review because it was just that good! I mean, I can't fathom criticizing a single moment from the book, much less the whole thing.
So I guess you can imagine that I'm a fan already, and I'll let you know that I've just borrowed all the other novellas from the Wonder series as well as the movie.
So now I'll stop writing this, insist you to read this absolutely amazing book and take my leave to go watch the movie!
Auggie has a cranial abnormality, but he still has normal intelligence. So he's very self-aware about his condition and how people see him. The author shows us how Auggie knows the way people look and talk about him. While acknowledging that often it's not malicious, it still hurts.
Throughout the book, you read perspectives of other characters and see lots of different sides to his story. It would be a great book to read to younger children (8 years) to help develop an understanding and empathy towards others who are different.
He's been home schooled but his mom decides that it's time for him to experience the outside world and be a normal kid in his own way.
Th story is told several people's point of view August, his sister's Via, Jack, his new best friend, Via's boyfriend and his parents. You feel their pain, their concerns and some, their shame.
Touching, sweet, this book will inspire you to be kind and respectful of others.
